Diagnostic and clinical analysis

 Vitiligo most often affects the face, elbows and knees, hands and feet, and genets. It affects both sides of the body equally. Vitiligo is more noticeable in darker-skinned people because of the contrast of white patches against dark skin. Skin may be moved (grafted) from normally pigmented areas and placed onto areas where there is pigment loss. Several cover-up makeups or skin dyes can mask vitiligo. When most of the body is affected, the remaining skin that still has pigment may be depigmented. It is important to remember that skin without pigment is at greater risk for sun damage. Be sure to apply a broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB), high-SPF sunscreen or sunblock and use appropriate safeguards against sun exposure.
